February 15, 201313 yr Impressive clip of the Meteorite that fell in Russia today: Scary stuff. I can imagine it could cause complications if it exploded near your aircraft - didn't it blow a roof off ? I wonder from what altitude ? Looks like it damaged a few buildings - and not just a remote pine forest this time...

February 15, 201313 yr According to the major Dutch news website nu.nl, there are 475 injured, of which 22 have been admitted to hospital, nobody is seriously hurt fortunately. Most were cut by shards of glass as the event blew out the windows. John-Alan Pascoe
February 15, 201313 yr Author Yea I've read it blew a roof off a zinc factory and injured up to 400 people, mostly from broken glass. I used to live in Halifax that had the Halifax Explosion back in 1917, in that incident a lot of the injuries was from glass as well. People must have looked outside when they saw the light from the meteorite, and when it exploded it shattered their windows. If they were standing in the window when it happened then that is when the injuries can happen. Matthew Kane I'm Dyslexic, what's an error to you is not to me
February 15, 201313 yr There was an asteroid 150 ft wide due to cross within the orbital boundaries of our satellites (within 17000miles of the earth) today. They said there was no chance of it hitting the Earth though. Could this have been it? Edit: Just noticed time stamp on the video, 12/31/2012, not 2/15/13 as the description says!! This looks like the more recent story and video http://www.cnn.com/2....html?hpt=hp_t3 Edit: The asteroid (mentioned above) is to cross Earth sometime around 2PM EST today over the Indian Ocean.

February 15, 201313 yr There was an asteroid 150 ft wide due to cross within the orbital boundaries of our satellites (within 17000miles of the earth) today. They said there was no chance of it hitting the Earth though. Could this have been it? No, it can't possibly have been 2012 DA14. The orbit of that asteroid is accurately known, so there is no chance of an Earth impact. However, I guess it's possible that there could be a debris stream associated with the asteroid (if it has suffered impacts in the past). By the way, if the object that hit Russia today had been 2012 DA14, then we would be looking at far greater casualties and damage. The atmospheric entry trail would have been far more spectacular, and the damage would have been truly shocking (particularly if it had suffered an airburst).

February 15, 201313 yr Commercial Member Heh the first part on that first video isn't actually any way related to these meteorites, it's from Turkmenistan, some kind of collapsed gas deposit that has been burning for decades: Really interesting happening anyway, would have been scary to witness that stuff.
February 15, 201313 yr Wow, that second video in Tmilitairke's post is scary stuff! That was a loud explosion! Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
February 15, 201313 yr Wow, that second video in Tmilitairke's post is scary stuff! That was a loud explosion! It wasn't an explosion, it was the sound barrier being broken that caused the glass to shatter, causing most of the injuries! Edit: Hearing mixed views on this now, Some reports, say it was the sound barrier shock wave, others say it was an air burst. Looking at the videos, I don't see anything that indicates an air burst myself but of coarse I'm no expert!! Thanks Tom My Youtube Videos! http://www.youtube.com/user/tf51d
February 15, 201313 yr Probably how you would feel seeing a nuclear missile come down. Two thoughts. "Oh crap, that doesn't look good......." Quickly followed by "I have no idea which way to go or what to do to avoid this. Bye, everyone!" We are all connected..... To each other, biologically...... To the Earth, chemically...... To the rest of the Universe atomically.

February 15, 201313 yr Apparently it left damages to 6 cities in that region. We're getting a close shave of an asteroid today it will happen at around 2:24pm ET. It will pass with-in 17,100 Miles of earth (that's closer than some of the satellites) but I'm sure most of you know that already, seeing as though it has been all around the news the past few weeks.
February 15, 201313 yr Luckily, most of the "fallen parts" did not reach populated areas and there are no confirmed victims so far, at least according to sources available on the WWW. Bartłomiej Ender
